Once， in the midst of a fine summer， Tom and his younger brother Jack went on an amazing trip to a picturesque beach with their family.
Excitement filled the air as Tom and Jack eagerly packed their buckets and shovels （铲子）， ready to explore the sandy wonders that awaited them. The moment they arrived at the beach， they wasted no time and rushed directly towards the shoreline.
With the wind brushing gently over their cheeks， Tom and Jack dug their hands into the soft grains of sand， laughing happily as they felt grains of sand passing through their fingers. Their laughter was echoing （回荡） along the coast.
Then the two little brothers decided to build a splendid sand castle that would leave everyone in awe. With the sound of seabirds singing in the background， they began their grand project. Side by side， they cupped their hands， dug into the soft beach， and started building their dream castle. With great care and precision， they sculpted and shaped the sand with their fingers， crafting each tower and wall. The boys were lost in their work， feeling the warmth of the sand beneath their fingers. They seemed to hear whispering tales of the distant， mysterious ocean.
Time seemed to stand still as the boys poured their hearts into every detail of their sandy creation. With each passing moment， the sand castle grew in both size and beauty and it began to take shape. Together， they patiently decorated their dream castle with seashells and twigs （细枝）， imagining a world of soldiers， princesses， and magical creatures.
Seeing the castle stand proudly before them， the two little brothers breathed out a sigh of relief. Their eyes shone with excitement. They were like architects who were appreciating their masterpiece that expressed their extraordinary imagination.

37-year-old Casey Ryan felt very comfortable in the mountains of the Willamette National Forest in Eugene， Oregon. He knew its roads and hiking trails well from his time as a volunteer in a roadside clean-up crew. These days， he was often there photographing wildlife， and he almost always had his lightweight drone （无人机） with him. It was one of his favorite cameras.
Though weather conditions weren’t great that morning， Ryan decided to go on a short hike with his friend. Snow was common and Ryan felt he knew the area well enough. Still， as they drove along， the roads became icy. Ryan thought he might turn back， but after a truck passed them coming from the opposite direction， he felt safe enough to keep going. The roads must still be passable in that direction， he reasoned.
But it wasn’t long before the two men came across a woman who was stranded （滞留） along the mountain road. Ryan and his friend stopped to help her. Ryan tried to line up his truck’s rope to pull the woman’s car out—and ended up stuck in the same place.
The three tried for hours to dig the cars out， but the sun was setting fast. The temperature was dropping and the snow was turning to ice blocks around the tires. It was impossible to dig out.
Thirty miles from the closest town， their phones had no signal in such a low-lying area. Their car radio and walkie-talkies couldn’t transmit any signal far enough. The three travelers prepared to spend the night in their cars. The hikers had survival gear （装备） and food to share， so they weren’t terribly worried.
It was Ryan’s friend who， jokingly perhaps， brought up a news report he had seen about a man using a drone to send roses to his girlfriend living on the 10th floor to make a proposal.

Emily was a determined high school student who started on a journey that would not only transform her own life but also inspire those around her.
Emily had always had a passion for writing. She spent countless hours in the school library， penning tales of bravery and dreams. However， being shy often stopped her from showing her creations to others. That was until an unexpected announcement gave her a new idea and made her want to try.
One day， the school was full of excitement because students were told about a special writing competition. The winning work would not only be published in the local newspaper but also read aloud at the annual Community Festival. Emily’s heart skipped a beat at the thought of her words reaching so many people， but she was also scared that she might not be chosen.
It was then that a gentle voice of encouragement entered her ears. Mrs Thompson， her English teacher， noticed Emily’s unease. She sat down with Emily during the lunch break. With a warm understanding smile on her face， Mrs Thompson said softly， “You have a story to tell， and people need to hear it. Don’t let your shyness limit you. Welcome it as a part of who you are， but don’t let it hold you back. Just give it a try.”
